The "Rag Baby" at the Grand-Future
Events Announced.

The "Rag Baby at the Grand-Future
Events Announced.
Springfield theater-goers had seen Charles
Hoyt's '.Rag Baby" before. but they turned
out en- masse to see it again last night at
the Grand. The audience was immense,
and everybody enjoyed the play greatly.
Mr.. Daniels, as .'Old Sport, twas, of course,
the great fun-maker of the occasion, and
he succeeded in keeping the crowd in con-
tinual roars of merriment- The support
ing company was excellent as whole,
and the performance throughout was ex-
cellent.
Miss Nettie Van Sickle, Mr.. Mayo's lead
ing lady, is native of Springfield, and
counts many friends among our citizens,
and it will be surprising il she is
not greeted warmly on Friday evening
when she will appear as wanda" in the
beautiful play Of ''Nordeck." Miss Van
Sickle is young, handsome, talented and
ambitious and has pleased Mr.. Mayo so
much that he has made her a very fiattering
offer for next season. .'Nordeck" with its
excellent cast win be given at the Grand
opera house on Friday and Saturday even-
ings. Aside from the great reputation OF
the play, Mr.. Mayo's popularity should fill
the theater.
The distinguished artist, Marie Prescott,
will appear at Blacks opera house on
Tuesday evening, February Is.

THE OTHER SIDE.

An Explanatory Card from Principal
Boggess, OF the Lagonda School.
To the Editor of the Republic:
should like through your columns to cor
rect some mistaken statements of Mr.. Hol-
den in the meeting of the board of educa-
ton Monday night concerning the Flora
Butler case in the Lagonda school. The
child's mother gave Miss Altman all the in
formation on which her action was taken.
According to Mrs. Butler the child was out
Of school not on account of diphtheria or
the diphtheria scare, but from other and in
sufficient causes. She was out not nine
weeks but two. She was sent TO the super
intendent under the rule of the board, but
by Mr.. Holden's advice she has persistently
refused to 90 to him for reinstatement, and
has made efforts to get back into school
without conforming to the same rule en-
forced every day in the Springfield schools.
Neither is Miss Altman the same teacher
who had the trouble with Flossie Scott, as
stated.
Mr.. Holden well knew that Mr.. White
was familiar with the details Of this case,
which seems to have been his reason for
springing it in the superintendent's ab-
sence. He could have brought it up any
time in the last two or three months, since
the case is of long standing.

The Question of Cheap Living.

The question of how cheap family can
live and how cheap workman might live,
and how cheap a preacher should live, ETC.,
has been debated in public and discussed
In private on divers and numerous oc-
casions, but has it ever occurred to you,
reader, how cheaply a student who is hew-
ing his own way through college by his
own unaided exertions must ives was
sitting in a suburban depot waiting for
the train which was to take me back to
Chicago, one day last week, when was
accosted by young man whom recog-
nized as a student in attendance on q
prominent school not far away.
He is studying for the ministry, and
freely informed me that he had been out
delivering subscription books, and that
this was his way of earning college edu-
cation. 81 occasionally miss term," he
remarked, cheerily, ''but manage, after
all, to get along comfortably" ''How
much does it cost your poorest students to
lives' inquired. ''If they board them
selves, as / and many do" he replied,
s'about dollar a week pays the expenses.
But" he added. s'some live on less than
that, and know of friend of mine in the
same school, an earnest biblical student,
who told me himself only recently that he
lives on thirty eights per week. The
statement made me gasp for breath, for l
well remembered how hard it used to be
for a certain student to worry his way
through on seventy cents week. Yet
cases of this kind are common enough all
about us-Cor Chicago Journal.

why Baking Powders Are Best.
From Halls Journal Of Health.


Baking powders properly compounded,
and containing pure cream of tartar, are
more convenient than yeast; and bread and
pastry made with them are just as whole
some, and far more paiatable.
We are In entire sympathy with the man
ufacturers of the Royal Baking Powder
who commenced and are vigorously con-
Quoting the war against the use of adulter-
ated baking powders.
Before committing ourselves, however, we
made tests Of sufficient number Of baking
powders to satify ourselves that the substi-
tuition of alum for cream of tartar in their
composition has not been Over-estimated,
while careful examination of the Royal
Baking Powder confirms our belief that DR..
Mott, the government chemist, when he
singled out and commended this powder fol
its wholesomeness.. did it wholly in the in
terests of the public.
We do not hesitate to say that the Royal
Baking Powder people deserve the gratitude
of the community whom they are endeayor
ing to protect

Life OF . Stage Tyro.

But the fact remains that although some
of her associates are good and refined peo-
pie, many of them are neither. They have
the power to make her life hideous. 1t is
to be feared that the great virtue of the
theatrical profession, kindheartedness,
fails and flags when neophyte comes
among them They are not kind to the
lady who steps on the stage. No people
are so generous to each other, none keep
their hearts SO alive to melting charity,
none show more firmness in adversely,
none are more courageous in a moment OF
danger than actors. Imagine Mrs. Charles
Stevenson, with fire behind her, keeping
q whole theatre quiet while she coura-
geously kept on with her part, in the blind
girl, in 1.-The Two Orphansr' There was
a heroinel They live on the verge OF the
heroic, and their business makes them
disdain the commonplace. If they are un-
kind to the newcomer it is almost their
only lack of generosity. Imagine the strain
upon them. To march through the dreary
round of one piece perhaps for year. No
wonder that they want all their applause,
poor people. it is but feeble reward for

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who has
used Boschee's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma. Pneumonia, and
in fact all throat and lung diseases. No
person can use it without immediate relief.
Three doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists to rec
ommend it to the poor dying comsumptive,
at least to try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen
bottles were sold last year, and no one case
where it failed was reported. Such med
icine as the German Syrup cannot be too
widely known. Ask your druggist about
it. Sample bottles to try, sold at 10 cents.
Regular size, IS cents. Sold by all Drug
gists and Dealers, in the United States and
